Dirt Sheet Daily Audio – 07/06/16

Les Moore recaps the day’s news, including the Twitter debate between the MLW Twitter and Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin about whether or not ROH wrestler Moose had signed a deal with TNA. MLW originally reported he had, before finally retracting the update to say Moose had confirmed an offer had been received, but that he hadn’t signed.

Dave Meltzer clarifies why the perceived risk on Moose accepting a high dollar offer from a company perpetually reported to be going out of business isn’t as large as it may seem on the surface…

Les looks at the varying coverage of Raw ratings from Monday night among paid pundits, Dave Meltzer, Jason Powell, Wade Keller and James Caldwell, which range everywhere from shockingly low to better than expected to right where we thought they’d be…

We also look at the difference in ratings, and their respective slides, between 2016 and the last time Raw aired on the 4th of July in 2011.

Finally, we look at the reactions to Final Deletion from TNA Impact Wrestling Tuesday night, including Powell’s take, Sean Radican’s reaction, and Bryan Alvarez plays Inspector Ringside with TNA’s own Jeremy Borash on whether WWE was inspired by the Final Deletions segment in the current Wyatt Family vs New Day angle.
